I'm not really convinced by the content of the article but I'm not sure that I could provide useful or constructive criticism about that, so I'll leave that part out and focus on sharing something that helped me recently. I've always tried to be reliable and here for people around me, but had a very hard time talking about my problems. I thought that in a way I was doing a favor to these people by "giving" and not "taking". It turns out that it wasn't true, and that you need a level of reciprocity for a healthy relationship. These days I try to open more to my friends about my problems and struggles, and I feel better thanks to that. I'm not sure I have useful advice on how to meet new people though. This is a part I'll try to explore a bit more in the coming years.
